Because of this, we might be skeptical of the notion that banks will act in good faith to make sure people can actually make their payments, if DTI rules go away.

Ignoring the notion that by staying in longer we may be picking additional risk, and therefore decreasing risk-adjusted returns.Thus:If you are staying in the deal it should be because potential returns to investors are much higher than the risks.

The property is in a different state and I’m not familiar with the market in that area.For the first 10 years, the rent was $17.35 a sqr ftFor the last 5 years, the rent was $19.28.The tenant is coming to the end of their lease and they are requesting a substantial reduction: $17.20 for another 10 years.They sent me a “Lease Comps Summary” report to support the notion that the rent should be lower.I’ve called some local brokers to try and find out what the market rate should be and brokers tell me, “high teen”.
